I was and am in a situation where WFM became voluntary because we outgrew the space while everyone was at home.
We have no limit of volunteers to work in the office, we have multiple people who never left the office, they continued to commute and went in every day.
So my anecdotal experience is the exact opposite of yours, which is why we don’t put a ton of stock in them and look at aggregates in studies. Making sense?
Unironically every Korean amd Japanese dating show that isn’t about divorcees.
The craziest shit about getting on an SNRI as opposed to an amphetamine based med was how quiet my space is compared to before.
It’s the democratic agenda. Chuck Schumer and Hakim Jeffries already gave up the ghost. Do nothing, and when the Republicans prove that they can’t govern, collect votes like acorns falling off trees in fall.
That way you only have to do performative shit, like 24 hour speeches for no actual gain, or printing a big banner.
The ratcheting doesn’t matter, the terrible primary system doesn’t matter, don’t look at David Hogg, we’ll sweep him under the rug to ensure no real developing of ideas or actual principles. Just cowardice.
Sure, but this interpretation is almost entirely subjective to you. Most people don’t think in shades of alcoholic.
“Because my consumption isn’t problematic.”
Like the person who is only drinking a half dozen times a year doesn’t have a relationship with alcohol at all. They don’t even think about it in a regular day. The only person who would hear a red flag in those responses is someone who does have a relationship with alcohol, and it’s probably not a good one.
The ADHD drives the anxiety in my experience. The way psychs in my area typically do things is step based, let’s treat this symptom that’s the worst, then get this under control. I had uncontrolled extreme anxiety that was causing all kinds of other problems, but I also had undiagnosed adhd into my 30’s.
After fucking around with meds for a few years, I finally found that the thing that made me THE MOST anxious, was the uncontrolled adhd. I would be ok for a while on just anti anxiety meds, but ADHD + crowds/noise/stimulus could eventually lead to a panic attack.
Long story short, I had the epiphany on an international trip. I would not take Adderall during vacations or weekends, but this time I did, and my anxiety was totally controlled while it was in effect.
When I got back to the states, I got on a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor rather than a stimulant type adhd med, cause you build that drug up in your body like an SSRI and it provides is effects consistently. This has made the biggest difference in my ability to interact with the outside world without anxiety.
It’s really incredible, any time I visit Seoul I make it a point to do basically the entire walk. It ends/begins at a beautiful water feature where they’ll have large seasonal art installations and decorations.
Catholics and Mormons are famously able to “beat the system” by both the poophole loophole, and soaking. So both of those stand to reason for me.
I think you have a super healthy view of this dilemma through your experience. As a person who has experienced the worst Down’s has to offer with a very close relative, i can’t imagine a happier thing they could have told my mother than, “your child doesn’t have to be born with down’s syndrome”.
Due to religion, terminating the pregnancy was never an option, so a set of cosmic dice was spun in how positive or negative this experience would be. Let me tell you right now, I wouldn’t wish my family’s experience on anyone, and that breaks me apart to say more than I’m willing to admit.
